The Buckingham East, built in 1982 and converted to condominiums in 1986, is a 15-story boutique building containing 60 apartments in Manhattan's Yorkville neighborhood. Designed by Stephen B. Jacobs & Associates, the building features a distinctive reddish beige-brick façade with architectural details including lunette windows on the second floor, arched windows on the top floor, and glass-enclosed wintergardens. The building historically marked the area's transformation from an entertainment district to a luxury residential neighborhood.
Many units in the building are unique triplex layouts, often featuring solariums and dramatic ceiling heights. The building is particularly known for its thoughtful design elements, described by architectural critics as showing 'Post-Baroque fun with windows.' The property maintains discrete air-conditioning units and offers a step-up entrance leading to a paneled lobby.
Resident amenities include 24-hour doorman service, a live-in superintendent, laundry facilities, bicycle storage, private storage options, and an expansive roof deck with city views. The building operates as a pet-friendly condominium with professional management.
Situated in a prime Upper East Side location between Central Park and Carl Schurz Park, the building offers exceptional accessibility with the Q train half a block away and the 4/5/6 trains within two blocks. The neighborhood features abundant shopping options including Whole Foods and Fairway markets, proximity to Museum Mile, and a variety of restaurants and retail establishments.
